URL Canary – Get an alert when someone finds your secrets

In plain words

URL Canary alerts users when their secrets or sensitive information shared online are discovered. Launched in 2018, the tool monitors the web for specified URLs or data, notifying users if those items appear in search results or get indexed. It is designed for anyone concerned about accidentally exposed passwords, private links, or confidential information becoming publicly accessible, offering a way to stay informed about unintended disclosures.
